 Welcome! Students found their seats, asked all the questions, looked over a course outline,  answered some get-to-know-you questions, and played a name scavenger hunt to get to know their classmates.  Next class, we will do some more icebreaker work, and then get down to work :)

Lesson 3

Image
  Students began class by listening to "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield, and thinking a bout the lyrics - A number of students forgot to bring a novel today, and those students had a bit of extra time to think... Students did the first of three sheets on capitalization. Students began a review of a standard plot diagram, and used this Cougar Cub Video to plot it out (please watch it at home if you missed today) HOMEWORK: Have a plan for recording homework (other than your phone) make sure your plot diagram for Cougar/Cub is complete, and bring a novel to next class.

Lesson 14

 We began today's class with students handing in the homework from last day - 1/3rd of the class did not have work to hand in. There is a clear trend for some students, and they should look to prioritize this early learning, or they will find themselves very behind in just a short time.  No one did a perfect job of the homework - as a result, we set about writing better statements, and critiquing them as a class. No group wrote a perfect statement. AND SO! Homework is to write a solid theme statement for "Barney," using the "How to Write a Theme Statement" sheet.  Please note: Students were encouraged to go to the Writing Lab for help with this work at lunch today, but most did not do so. The HWL is open Mon/Tues/Wed, and tutorials are open daily, apart from the FRIDAY OF WEEK 1.
